Oh wow, this was a lot!  I loved Tyelko's voice through this, and Finrod's guidance and gift.  No matter how it is we don't fit our parent's wishes for us it's never easy to live under those expectations or to feel so unseen.  I kept hoping for a happy ending but life isn't always happy and not everyone makes up.  I liked having Maedhros there at the end, to at least offer a tether to come back to in time.  This was so full of pain but so very well done.
